164 clubs entered this season's tournament, an increase of two from 2010–11. The four new SJFA member clubs – Colony Park, Falkirk Juniors, Portgordon Victoria and Rossvale – made their first appearance. Missing from the previous season were Arbroath Sporting Club who had folded and Scone Thistle who were in abeyance.

Shotts Bon Accord won the trophy for the second time in their history, defeating cup holders Auchinleck Talbot, 2–1, in the final at Almondvale Stadium.[2] Under a 2007 rule change, the Junior Cup winners (along with winners of the North, East and West regional leagues) qualify for the senior Scottish Cup; Shotts Bon Accord therefore competed in the 2012–13 Scottish Cup.
